10. Justification for course change.
The proposed changes will bring the FCB CIS curriculum into closer alignment with the CIS
offerings at other major universities, and the needs of businesses looking to hire FCB CIS
students. The primary emphasis of the proposed changes will move CIS 440 away from a
technical focus and towards a MIS focus intended to support the data analysis and
information strategy needs of current businesses. It is anticipated that this proposed
course will be of interest to Marketing, Finance and Management students.
